M.; Almeida, António; Parra-Lopez, EduardoPurpose – This study aims to analyze the contribution of tourist event and satisfaction with tourism events as a product of regional tourism competitiveness, as well as evaluate factors of competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach – The research followed a quantitative methodology by conducting a questionnaire on the four largest tourist events in Madeira (Carnival, Flower Festival, Atlantic Festival and Wine Festival), an insular island located in Portugal. Findings – The sample consisted of 2,262 tourists surveyed during the year 2017 and structural equation models were used as the statistical method. Results showed that satisfaction is reflected in the client’s loyalty to the choice of a tourist destination and also contributes directly and indirectly to the regional tourist competitiveness. Originality/value – This study contributes to the valorization of local and regional events, perceived by the level of satisfaction and loyalty of tourists, as products of regional competitiveness of a tourist destination.
- A bibliometric study of regional competitiveness and tourism innovationPublication . Teixeira, Sérgio Jesus; Ferreira, Joao José De MatosThis study’s objective essentially strives to provide a mapping of the scientific publications and the intellectual knowledge therein contained while conveying past research trends and identifying potential future lines of research in the fields of regional competitiveness and tourism innovation. This correspondingly deploys a systematic literature review in keeping with the bibliometric approach. This analysis encapsulates the number of articles published and their annual number of citations for the period between 1900 and 2016 as registered by the Web of Science database. Results show how the intellectual structure on regional competitiveness and tourism innovation evolves over time. The main contribution of this study arises out of identifying the main research trends in this field and the respective shortcomings and specific needs for future scientific research.
- Hotel industry and regional competitiveness: the bibliometric perspective of web of sciencePublication . Teixeira, Sérgio J.; Pocinho, MargaridaThe hotel industry is certainly a key sector study for any regional competitiveness. The aim of this study is to review the extent and emerging perspectives and approaches to the hotel industry and regional competitiveness. We adopted a systematic literature review using a bibliometric approach, focusing on the creation of maps and networks of visualization of intellectual structure in the period of 18 years (2000-2018), through the Web of Science database. The author argues that the hotel industry is undoubtedly the sector linked to regional competitiveness and that is an engine of the regional economy
- Entrepreneurial artisan products as regional tourism competitivenessPublication . Teixeira, Sérgio J.; Ferreira, João J. M.Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore and analyse the role of entrepreneurial artisan products in regional tourism competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach – This study applies secondary data from different sources (Regional Directorate of Statistics of Madeira, the Madeira Institute of Wine, Embroideries and Handicrafts) covering a temporal period spanning the last 15 years (2001-2015). This deployed quantitative data analysis through an econometric approach with recourse to regression models and the Pearson’s correlation technique. Findings – According to the results, it is suggested that in terms of external support and funding, there should be a greater role and a boost in the number of projects carried out not only under the auspices of the European Union but also under the Autonomous Region of Madeira. Thus, participant companies may invest in greater business efficiency and entrepreneurship, in innovation, promotion and the internationalisation of their products, and thereby obtain greater overall regional competitiveness. Research limitations/implications – The generalisation of results remains to a certain extent limited, given the findings stem from only one particular region. The exclusive utilisation of secondary data may also undermine the robustness of the results obtained. Originality/value – The study provides empirical evidence that helps in identifying the role of artisan products within the capacity for regional tourism sector entrepreneurship and competitiveness. Furthermore, this also contributes to the knowledge of the scientific community particularly interested in artisan and cultural entrepreneurship and regional competitiveness in the tourism sector.
- O upgrade da imagem do destino com base em eventos - o caso da Região Autónoma da MadeiraPublication . Almeida, António; Franco, Mara; Teixeira, SérgioA organização de eventos constitui uma componente critica de qualquer estratégia de diversificação ao nível dos destinos maduros. A maioria dos destinos procura oferecer um portfolio diversificado de eventos em épocas diferentes ao longo do ano, de forma a atrair e agradar ao maior número possível de clientes. Para além de procurarem imprimir uma lógica de complexidade em termos do core do evento, para atrair a atenção dos visitantes para a riqueza dos recursos culturais, os eventos visam também gerar impactos económicos. Dada a frequência atual de eventos, o que sugere a existência de um risco de saturação, e dado o montante limitado de para promover os festivais, informação sobre o perfil dos participantes atraídos pelos eventos, e informação nos fatores que influenciam o grau de satisfação serão obviamente bem-vindos por uma plateia de stakeholders interessados no sucesso destas iniciativas. Este estudo considera eventos que ocorrem ao longo do ano na Região Autónoma da Madeira, de forma a identificar os fatores críticos de sucesso, para além da identificação do perfil sociodemográfico, organização de viagem e grau de envolvimento com o evento. Devido ao facto de a maioria das variáveis serem do tipo ordinal e categórico, socorremo-nos na regressão categórica para efeitos de identificação das varáveis chave explicativas da satisfação. A análise de diferenças entre os grupos de interesse é feira com recursos á analise multivariada. A análise econométrica aplicada neste estudo utiliza uma amostra de 1830 turistas, com os resultados a permitirem concluir que a satisfação resulta sobretudo das características técnicas dos eventos. Em termos de conclusão consideram-se algumas das medidas relevantes quando se analisa o papel dos eventos de forma estratégica.

- A systematic literature review on family business: insights from an Asian contextPublication . Teixeira, Sérgio; Veiga, Pedro Mota; Figueiredo, Ronnie; Fernandes, Cristina; Ferreira, João J.; Raposo, MárioPurpose – Family firms have been the subject of various scientific studies. This interest derives not only from their unique characteristics in terms of their management but more specifically in terms of their succession in a dimension that does not impact on other companies in the same way. Hence, and as a complex field of research, this study seeks to map out and analyse the intellectual knowledge on research into family firms in Asian contexts. Design/methodology/approach – As regards the statistical and analytical methods, the authors made recourse to the bibliometric, co-citation and cluster analysis techniques. In order to evaluate any potential patterns among the articles, the authors analysed the ways in which the articles are jointly cited. This furthermore applied hierarchical cluster analysis to the totality of the articles subject to co-citation analysis within the scope of grouping the interrelated articles into distinct sets. In order to graphically map the bibliographic co-citation analysis, the authors deployed the network and cluster determination theories. Findings – The results enabled the identification and the classification of various theoretical perspectives on the domain of family firms into four main approaches: (1) family business behaviour; (2) family versus non-family CEOs; (3) business family performance; and (4) business family and people. Originality/value – This study identifies, explores, analyses and summarises the main themes, contributing towards deepening the literature through the means of identifying the priority areas in relation to Asian family businesses able to guarantee international standards of excellence in comparison with their respective competitors.
